The 1950–1965 Pacific hurricane seasons all began on May 15, 1950-65 in the northeast Pacific Ocean and on June 1, 1950-65 in the central Pacific. They ended on November 30, 1950-65. These dates conventionally delimit the time of year when most tropical cyclones form in northeast Pacific Ocean.
Before the satellite age started in the 1960s, data on east Pacific hurricanes is extremely unreliable. Most east Pacific storms are of no threat to land. Only ones that made landfall or are notable in some way are mentioned.

Storms named Madeline in 1961, Hazel in 1963, and Sylvia in 1964 were found to have been tropical depressions and shouldn't have been named. The name Gwen was used for a system in 1960. Gwen is not present in the best track file, but it is not known if it had been found not to have been a tropical cyclone, or if it was reduced to a depression.
